July- 2014
Playing on Select Team, the 5-foot-10, 175-pound switch-hitting middle infielder impressed with his all-around game and athleticism. On the workout day, Collins ran a 6.77 60, was clocked at 84 mph from shortstop, recorded a 90 mph exit velocity while showing a balanced, level swing from both sides of the plate. In game play, Collins showed off his top-level hands at multiple infield positions, and smoked a triple to right field in the first game.

4/12/19: Switch-hitting middle infielder and leadoff hitter for the Bluejays, Collins top tools are his plus speed and near average arm. Showed fair hands on ground balls with a very quick DP pivot. As a left-handed hitter he does not take the type of swing conducive to his toolset/profile. Has a huge hole away, especially against offspeed pitches. Sets up in a wide, spread stance. Takes a big uppercut swing around the ball with above average bat speed. The ball jumped off his bat in BP, but due to the side/top spin created from the swing path, the carry was minimal even with the wind blowing out 20+ mph. Right-handed, the swing was better than the left with a shorter path and loose bat head. But, similar to the left, he does pull off the ball. Should concentrate more on driving his top hand through the ball instead of around it and in/out of the strike zone. Overall, Collins has an intriguing set of tools with plus speed and defensive versatility. (Seifert)

8/20/18: Five-foot-ten, 185 pound athletically built infielder with a strong frame. Defensively shows quick-twitch actions with plenty of arm strength. Stay balanced while moving laterally. Compact throwing motion. Profiles best for second base. Switch hitter. Smooth, low effort hitting actions from the left side. Average bat speed with lift in swing. Very similar look on the right side but shows more of a line drive approach and not as much pull-side power. Hard-nosed player with mature approach to the game. (D Jurik)
